Wurzburg, Germany: St. Mary's Chapel

The Market Square in Wurzburg's dominating attraction is St. Mary's Chapel, shown here. You might associate chapels with small religious areas, but there's nothing tiny about this facility.

There are sculptures of Adam and Eve greeting visitors, which mean they were installed just as Columbus was getting done with his first trip to America. Remarkable. It's tough to tell how much of it all is original, though.Various parts of the facility were damaged at the end of World War II, although the Chapel's tower did survive the bombing.

Got a minute to look around?
